Why trableless web design....?

By -
Table less web design (or table less web layout) is a method of web design and development without using HTML tables for page layout control purposes.Instead of HTML tables, style sheet languages such as CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) are used to arrange elements and text on a web page. CSS was introduced by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) to improve web accessibility and to make HTML code semantic rather than presentational.

Early in its advent, many web developers considered CSS a more powerful and easier to use way of formatting, and considered the tag obsolete. On the other hand, early CSS had very limited and difficult to use layout capabilities and many common page layouts (like the 3-column design) that were very easy to implement with tables had no obvious equivalents in CSS.

As of 2006, CSS layout capabilities improved considerably. Nonetheless, many websites still use CSS for text formatting only, while using tables for layout.

Advantages
  • Accessibility
  • Bandwidth savings
  • Maintainability

Google Chrome issue with flash wmode: “transparent”

By -

Ok I have seen lots of guys having issues with new Google Chrome does not properly render flash movies with transparent backgrounds. I had the same problem and I search every corner of the Internet but left out of luck. So I thought of finding the solution on my own and "Eureka". First I must say that this has nothing to do with the "wmode" parameter. Also this has nothing to do with the way you guys embed the movie into HTML, so don't waste your time trying to change those things. The issue lies with the image rasterization  switching on the Bitmap caching under Display properties will eliminate the issue in Chrome. Bitmap caching The bitmap caching feature is one of the older rasterization features in Flash. Use bitmap caching to allow Flash Player to cache a symbol as a bitmap in RAM memory at runtime. The bitmap caching feature is easy to use. Convert an image to a symbol, make sure it's selected, and then choose the Cache as Bitmap Render ...

Why responsive email development is a pain in the butt

Yes, If you ever got into HTML code an email design with responsive support you already know what I am about to say. Developing a responsive email is really can be a pain in the butt right? But why do we have to feel that pain, because about 48% emails are opened on mobile devices, so it's not a choice you can make but you just have to get used to that. Ever thought why it's hard to develop an email to be compatible with mobile devices? Let me explain, the simple reason for the emails to work differently on mobiles and desktops is because we have whole lot of email clients to deal with and all these email clients doesn't work in a unique way. Back in the day, when you say you got mail, there is no doubt that you got mail to your Office Outlook; admit it, we loved it back then right? we used to have voice overs to say "You got mail" every time you got an email, at least you loved it because there wasn't another email client for us to use on a windows PC. ...

How many emails you get into your inbox everyday? How many of them you read everyday? Are those emails really relevant to you? These are some interesting questions you should ask yourself before doing an email campaign. Yes! even you plan the campaign, you must get into the other's shoes to see or think like others. How many emails you skip each day because they are not relevant to you? And have you ever thought of how many emails you get into your junk folder each day? I want you to answer these questions before further reading this. Being an email marketing service provider is easy these days, you just need a good email list with about 500,000 emails in it and you just have to create multiple email marketing accounts in MailChimp or any other email marketing software provider, it's that easy. I recently got a call to my office line from a guy asking me if I am interested in buying an email list. Just because I am curious, I asked how many contacts in it and how much do...
